Quotes:

“I think pay equity, in terms of how we define, it has evolved and changed particularly in recent years and as a result of many different factors. But today when we talk about pay equity, we're really talking about a general sense of fairness in the workplace.”

“For a lot of organizations, I think it's going to be incremental steps. There's a lot of housekeeping and analysis that needs to be done around pay equity . . . and the integrity of your data is just going to be critical.”
